Proposed Purchaser Under Agreement To Sell Can't Sue Third Party Who Claims Title & Possession Of Property : Supreme Court

The Supreme Court held that a proposed purchaser under an agreement to sell cannot sue a third party who claims title and possession of the property. The court reasoned that the agreement to sell creates a right in personam against the vendor, not a right in rem against the property itself. Therefore, the proposed purchaser lacks the locus standi to initiate legal action against a third-party claimant.
